PERRY  COUNTY

Blain (N&SV) - Station has been restored to use as a museum. Also, track had been laid for the display of a locally home-built caboose. Tours are given on an "on-call basis."

Centre (N&SV) - Station is still standing, except it is beginning to lean to one side. It has the victorian cross structure setup common on the Newport and Shermans Valley Railroad stations.

Cove (PRR) - The original location of this station was on the east side of Burley Road on the south side of the tracks at GPS: 40.355950, -76.982200. This station was originally moved from Cove to Hollidaysburg where it was part of a museum/private collection owned by Chuck Hazlett in the 1970s. The collection of artifacts, including the station were eventually auctioned/sold. The station now resides at the Monon Connection Museum in Indiana. Does anyone know what year the depot was originally moved to Hollidaysburg? It was subsequently moved to Indiana in 2002. Not to be confused with the Cove in Bedford County which had a Cove station on the H&BTM RR.

Duncannon (SR&W) - This station was built by the Susquehanna River & Western in 1912 (The (Newport, PA) News, 10-10-1912). In 1938 it was converted into a residence by Neil Flickenger (Duncannon Record, 8-15-1958). It was then moved just west of its original location (around GPS: 40.389079, -77.032483) and given a new foundation and first floor in 1958. It was moved to Locust Street in 1958 when the U.S. 11/15 by-pass was built. The building caused a problem when moved as it became ensnared on a powerline and blocked off Locust Street for about a month before it could be put into place. It was actually destined for another location further up the hill, but land was purchased on Locust Street and it ended up there after it became stuck (Duncannon Record, 8-8-1958, 8-14-1958, 9-4-1958). See photo for map showing original track alignment and location of station.

Duncannon (PRR) - The building was commissioned in 1900 and completed in 1902. It was vacated by the railroad in 1954. It was purchased from the railroad in the early 1970s by Ed Chism of Cove (Duncannon Record, 2-28-1974). Blue Ridge Communications, a cable company, purchased the building in 2005. After totally remodeling the building and trying to keep it as original as possible, but still making it functional, the building had a grand re-opening in 2009.

Loysville (N&SV) - Building is part of Kreider's Mill.

New Germantown (N&SV) - Station is now used by Toboyne Township for storage. Had been modified in the 1930s to accommodate a bus garage.

Newport (N&SV) - This combination station was originally on the north side of Walnut Street at Peach Street at GPS: 40.478254, -77.133297. The old right of way ran down the middle of Peach Street through town. In 1924 the station was moved about 800 feet from its original location to the north corner of Walnut and Spruce Streets where it was remodeled into a duplex (The News-Sun, 7-22-1924, 10-15-1953). The narrow-gauge tracks were pulled up through town around the same time.

Water Plug (N&SV) - During the late 1800's, the Newport and Shermans Valley railroad crossed behind the house. Due to a never failing spring on the property, a dam was constructed and water supplied to the steam engines. Thus, Water Plug Station (as it was known on the N&SV timetable as well). To this day, the spring is used to fill and top off the 20x40 ft. in ground swimming pool on the property. The dam can still be seen but has since been breached.
